This is a public and OPEN forum, 
Insulting TheOmbudsman it's just not acceptable, I though we were all H1B educated people who are open to discussion, not just a child crying and insulting as soon as someone contradicts you.
 
I know many people who stopped comming to this forum (contributing), they just get tired of those insults. If someone has a different opinion, is immediately insulted

I second this idea.
Why can't we move from a free service to a membership based and see how many people still continue ... evenif with 25K members it is only a handful who are active and part of the initiative ... so I would suggest to go for a membership ...
 
it could be a per month basis or pay a big amount and get membership for life or year ... say $200 for a year or $20 for a month ... we don't need the number/mass unless they are active in all way ... just my thoughts ... hope the IV core team will consider that ... enough of free rides ... now pay for it and get the access to forums ... :mad:

i dont think its a controversy. mr. Gotcher does not agree with the interpretation. Maybe its a way to generate some additional revenues for his firm by increased traffic to the blog and potentially a class action lawsuit on behalf of the ROW people.

As I said dont bother replying
 
Pay attention more to something when you read and ask your questions better (or at least elaborate before you reply with something like the above gem). And, since I suspect this is part of the problem look up "hypothetical". The correct term should have been "on or after July 2" not "after July 2". I didn't bother to sit there and make sure it was perfectly clear since I assumed readers would get it. Obviously, some are slow:D Peace

Yes, I used to say like this five years back when I had time and age in my hand. I assume you are in early or mid 20's. I will put it differently for you.
 
Assume there is a big pond which starts from 1 feet and gradually increases up to 100 feet. People with one year work experience steps 0.5 feet. There are life jackets(GC) floating around the pool and whoever is lucky is picking it up. There are guys like me who are already in 5th-6th feet deep without finding the lifejacket, but we are sure if we go further, may be 3-4 feet more we WILL find it. There are guys who are lucky to find a life jacket at 1,2,3 feet also and happily float to the shore passing us. The fifth feet guy is practically seeing how the 6th and 7th feet guys are struggling. May be they are seeing some one in 8 feet to 10 feet. Now a big Tsunami (retrogression) comes and drags all the jackets 20 feet down further. These guys are dejected and some of these guys even pull their spouse/kids in one hand when they float/swim.
 
Dont forget, it takes one year to step 0.5 feet. Every year the pond management drops a fixed number of jackets. These guys keeps their hope alive based on the above fact. But these guys are seeing some kids passing in motorboat(LC Substitution) paying that guy 10K and getting a life jacket. Hmm pain, but even if I had a chance I would have also done it.
 
Now comes your saying. When the deepest s...t guys talks about their fate down the line and how to take their family safe ashore, a guy at 0.5/1 feet shouts saying "Dont give up, it is like deciding to take a sanyas because you are tired of dealing with social issues".
 
If you are in 5+ feet, I take your statment. Otherwise, you will not understand what I am trying to say until you reach 5+ feet without finding a life jacket and also pulling your family in one hand and seeing your seniors struggling more in 8+ feet. :)
 
NOTE: BTW, no offense. I thought to express what I am saying in different way. I understand what you meant. Cheers.
 
 
 
I think that going back to your home country ONLY because you feel overwhelmed by the delays in GC processing/retrogerssion (assuming you are quite content in your job and standard of living) is not a good idea. Especially true in the event that you and your family experience difficulties in adjusting professionally and socially after returning back. Chances are you might soon get a feeling of having taken a wrong decision in the heat of the moment, especially if the guys who stay back and ride this retrogression storm see some relief while you are still trying to adjust to the changed environment of your home country. You may even get tempted to come back and give the GC thing another shot but then you have to start at square one again.
 
Going back to home country only because of the shortcomings of GC process is like deciding to take a sanyas because you are tired of dealing with social issues. I belive a decision to renounce something should only come from a position of strength. A true jogi is one who understands the triviality of society and decides to rise above it...not the one who denouces it because he can't deal with it.
 
As the saying goes..its darkest before the dawn...I truely hope this is the case for all of us here...

I am sure IV core, volunteers and other helpful folks have in the past and continually trying to contact various media agencies and channels to get the necessary coverage.
 
I think even after the rally, we should still continue to contact these agencies/tv channel websites (by sending them emails maybe.. calling them..) until they know the intensity & urgency of the issue.
Im sure one email will not suffice. The sheer number can make the difference and get their attention.
 
While the IV core thinks & works on about the future roadmap, I think all the members can try to contact these channels and then direct them to IV core for proper information...
 
Do you think this may make some difference and add any value to the movement.
 
Any other suggestions? Is this doable??

No its I-485 I just cut and pasted the two emails I received, first at 10am then the second at 3 pm check online and the system had same messages. If its true I am having a party wow man thanks I did come to US in 1997. I do have a labor which was approved under RIR PD date 2004 but the employer refused to file I-140. Then again filed PERM in 2007 under EB2 and filed I-140/I-485 based on this PERM
 
Congrats.
 
Not to scare you but USCIS Can make mistakes.
 
In our company we have an immigration chat alias and my colleague' friend's
wife's GC was approved and after a couple of months she got a mail saying that
her GC was approved by mistake and it is being revoked!
 
She hadn't event applied for EAD renewal since her GC was approved.
 
Now I am not making it up.
I don't have any more details about this case but I read this on our alias.

H1B visa is meant to be for people with skills that are in shortage in the US. If any H4 feels that he/she should be able to work, he/she should get a H1B. I agree that it may be difficult for some H4s to find a sponsorer for H1B, because their skills are not in shortage in the US.
 
Some spouses may join their H1B counterparts in the US, with an expectation that they will eventually get the GC and will be able to work, no matter what their skill set is. This is a reasonable expectation. So, blame the retrogression.
 
I do not believe that H4s should ever be allowed to work. They just take away jobs of more skilled workers who are unable to get H1Bs and who are still in their home countries trying for one. Skill-less free riders!
 
Now, please don't bash me with counter arguments!! ;)
sorry but this is ridiculous. If the US has a skill shortage and wants foreign workers, it should ensure that the foreign worker and his/her family are given the same rights that a domestic workers family enjoys.
If they can't give that right, why do they want to invite the foreign worker at all?
Its true that they are not forcing this on us and we are free to go back anytime. But still isn't the inequality pretty clear here? and this country is supposed to be all about equality...

keep it coming guys greatwork IVBelow is the response I receieved from senetor, not sure if my email was read becuase I don't see any word about legal immigratnts in the response, 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for taking the time to share your views regarding immigration. I would like to take the opportunity to respond to this important issue.
 
There are currently over 38 million foreign-born individuals living in the United States, which accounts for nearly 13 percent of the total U.S. population. Nearly one-third of this foreign-born population is estimated to consist of undocumented or illegal residents; a clear indication that our immigration system is broken. While a number of bills have been introduced concerning various elements of immigration reform, the issue has yet to come before the full Senate. I am currently evaluating a number of policy options, and will remain mindful of your thoughts on this subject as we proceed in the 111th Congress.
 
Again, thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with me regarding this issue. It is an honor and privilege to serve the people of the great State of Florida in the United States Senate. I take great pride in being a native Floridian, and I look forward to the tremendous opportunity to better the lives of all Floridians. I assure you I will work hard to represent our state to the best of my ability in the U.S. Senate. If I can be of any further help to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Ok,
 
so the the US lists, the catagories as Mexico, India, china, and the philpines.
 
that is 4 counties..... with what ever percentage of the total visas..
 
But ROW the rest of the world.....how many countries is that???? i am guessing lots... i personally am only conserned with the UK as that is where i am at the moment. so how do i go about finding the number of visa's that the UK is aloted per year? in EB catagories.
 
 
because i dont see how if say Germay, or Italy used up all there visas for the year, but the rest of the world hadent, or even half and half....how can the entire of the rest of the world be retrogressed.??? is there not a list of how indervidual countries are retrogressed....? if this is stupid please say though, but i think it is quite a valid question.

I have flown in these airlines so far and here are my comments
 
Delta - Oh sucks man !! - Thiruvallur bus (in tamil it means - a normal congested government bus)
 
Qatar airways - decent - except for the food which is no good and you dont get the polite service (even they will not even check back if the light is on).
 
Jet airways -- wonderful ! Excellent food ! Superb airhostesses ! Good leg space and quite comfortable flight
 
Indian airlines - Oh man ! what a journey between singapore to chennai. We started late by 3 hours as they took one flight off (cost cutting) and bundled all of those pax with us. And we had to land on exactly 1 wheel (i meant with 1 tyre remaining). Nose wheel had tyres blown out and the back wheel had one blowout. But hats off to the pilot who took us safely. No bassinets, but the crew was cooperative and gave us a bassinet that could be placed down in the floor near your leg. I will vote against the machines (IA) but support the crew.
 
Singapore airlines - Awesome and hats off so far ! Had a tough time getting a bassinet for my baby as there was a code share with indian airlines (of all airlines - oh my god!). The indian airlines folks goofed up by not sending the bassinet request and food (vegetarian) to singapore airlines. But the staff was so accomodative enough that all the worries was sorted out effectively in the counter as well as in flight. Will always support them for their cooperation.

My pledge,
 
As soon as $10k is reached, I will contribute, $50.
 
When $13k is reached, I will contribute another $50.
 
And when $20k is reached, I will contribute another $50.
 
This, of course, is in addition to the recurring contributions that I already make.
 
Everyone, please take initiative in this effort.
 
We spend thousands of dollars and years waiting for our green cards, why is it so hard to realize that this is only to help ourselves?.
 
These contributions are more or at least as important as our car payments, mortgage, or educational loans. This effort will only ensure (by giving us our well deserved GCs) that we can stay here on a permanent basis and not have to be sent back home (or is it really home?, for so many of us who have spent close to a decade or longer, here) at the slightest disturbance in the economy.
 
I hope you will make the right decision.
 
Thanks and regards,

Everbody's posts here are speculations on what USCIS will do to I-485's filed on or after July 2. Everybody is trying to get an answer from USCIS. You called and got an answer DIRECTLY from USCIS which you doubt and don't believe. So what you want is for people here, who can only come up with speculations as to what USCIS's action would be, to confirm what USCIS already told you???
 
Geez.....you definitely need a brain check.

There's one BIG difference - taxpaying we may be (I hate tax time... !!! :) - we certainly are not Americans yet - not even close. 
 
Though we may enjoy the American way of life, and may have already integrated or have the capability and willingness to do so in this great melting pot of cultures much faster and more transparently than other immigrants (ready with the brickbats... ?) - we're long way from becoming Americans.
 
Just to set the record straight...
 
jazz
 
Doesn't it sound rude... they celebrate, feast and we fast. If we admire this country for giving us so much we should also show our support and adopt the culture and celebrate with them to show we are tax paying Americans who enjoy in American way.
 
We can show our protest by sending 1-wish for our own GC ( may be in the form of Christmas tree ornament) to all law makers. Everybody makes a wish and our wish is GC.
